Under One Person: Feng Shui Master, I Will Protect the Mountains and Rivers with My Own Body

The moment the herbs entered his mouth, an unbearable bitterness and earthy taste exploded in Yan Sen's mouth.

The taste was like a large chunk of damp, moss-covered mud being shoved into his mouth; it was so astringent it made his tongue go numb, and so nauseating he almost vomited on the spot.

He suppressed the urge to vomit and forcefully swallowed the chewed herbs mixed with his saliva.

The moment the herbs entered my stomach, the bitter taste vanished instantly, replaced by a rush of scalding heat!

This heat was neither as explosive as the fire of the heart nor as sharp as the metal of the lungs. It was heavy, viscous, and dull, like a lump of mud churning and churning in his stomach.

"Ugh..." Yan Sen couldn't help but let out a painful groan. He felt as if his internal organs were about to be crushed by this lump of mud. Large beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"Guard your mind! Circulate your internal energy!" Yan Que's sharp shout rang in his ears, like a sudden blow to the head.

Yan Sen dared not delay. He immediately sat cross-legged, endured the excruciating pain, and began to circulate the "Shaking Dragon Scripture" through the body.

As the cultivation technique was activated, something miraculous happened.

He felt as if he had become a giant magnet, and the surrounding environment—the cave walls, the soil on the ground, and even the dust floating in the air—had turned into iron filings.

Streams of earthy-yellow energy, invisible to the naked eye, converged from all directions and surged into his body!

These are the "Essence of Earth" accumulated over countless years in the complete Feng Shui formation of Longhu Mountain!

These essences of Earth element, through the pores of his entire body, penetrate his meridians, flowing like a trickle of water towards his spleen.

"pain!"

This was Yan Sen's only feeling at that moment.

If the medicinal power of the herbs was like mud before, now, with the influx of this Earth essence, it feels like someone is hitting his meridians and internal organs with a hard stone over and over again.

Every meridian, every inch of flesh, groaned under the weight of this immense energy.

Yan Sen's body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably. His teeth were clenched so tightly that they were grinding, and his gums were bleeding from the force of his grip.

An even more horrifying change appeared on his skin.

Yan Sen's skin was losing its color at a visible rate, turning yellow and rough, as if it were slowly petrifying.

At the joints, a "clicking" friction sound even began to be heard, like two stones grinding against each other.

This is a sign that the spleen's earth element is excessive, which the body cannot fully absorb, leading to the body beginning to "become earthy"!

"not good!"

Yan Que, who was standing by, changed his expression drastically.

He hadn't expected Yan Sen's body to have such a high affinity for the Five Elements Qi.

It's like a tap that you only intended to turn on a little water, but when you turn it on, it's like a fire hydrant with pressure. Yan Sen's small body simply couldn't withstand such an enormous influx of energy!

If this continues, Yan Sen will be completely turned into a lifeless humanoid stone statue in less than ten minutes!

Yan Que's palms were covered in cold sweat. Almost instinctively, he wanted to intervene and forcibly interrupt the cultivation session. Even if it meant wasting this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, or even damaging Yan Sen's meridians, it was better than turning him into stone!

He raised his palm, and a sharp aura of metal energy had already gathered in his palm, ready to strike Yan Sen in the back.

But just as his palm was about to fall, he abruptly stopped.

Because he saw that Yan Sen's tightly closed eyes were twitching violently. Beneath his eyelids, a dazzling cyan-gold light was stubbornly flickering!

[All things are connected by Qi]

At the critical moment of life and death, Yan Sen's innate talent also came into play!

"Hold on! Son! Hold on!" Yan Que gritted his teeth and withdrew his hand. He chose to take another gamble, betting that his son could create a miracle!

At this moment, Yan Sen's consciousness was already somewhat blurred.

He felt as if he were buried underground, surrounded by endless soil and rocks, squeezing every inch of his body, making it impossible for him to breathe or move.

Just as he was about to be completely engulfed by this suffocating feeling, his eyes seemed to open automatically.

Not the naked eye, but the "eye of wisdom".

From his "inner vision" perspective, he clearly "saw" the condition inside his body.

A thin, but violent stream of yellowish-brown energy, like a swarm of headless flies, rampaged through his meridians, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. His spleen, under the impact of this energy, had swollen like a balloon, its surface covered with fine cracks, as if it could burst at any moment.

That cyan-gold light emanated from his eyes and flowed into his meridians.

This innate Qi that belonged to him, though weak, was like the most astute and calm commander. It did not confront the violent earth element head-on, but rather, like a skilled shepherd, used a clever way of "guiding" and "managing" to drive the scattering "sheep" little by little, precisely to where they should go—the spleen.

The energies that were originally meant to "petrify" his body began to become docile under the guidance of the [All Things Connected Qi]. They no longer damaged his meridians, but instead began to repair, nourish, and strengthen them.

Yan Sen felt that he was gradually regaining control of his body.

He immediately focused all his attention, coordinating with the [All Things Connect Qi], and fully activated the "Shaking Dragon Scripture".

"boom!"

He felt as if a muffled thunderclap had sounded in his head.

At this moment, all the earth element energy seemed to have found its final destination, flowing into the spleen, which was already on the verge of its limit, like countless rivers flowing into the sea!

Yan Sen's spleen contracted suddenly and then swelled up again in that instant!

He "saw" that his spleen was undergoing a transformation.

It was no longer a bright red color, but slowly, from the inside out, it was tinged with a thick, earth-like dark yellow.

The fine cracks on it healed quickly under the nourishing dim yellow light and became even more resilient than before.

With each heartbeat, the "mutated" spleen would produce a deep, powerful "thump" sound.

The sound seemed to be perfectly synchronized with the vast land beneath our feet and the pulse of the entire Longhu Mountain!

Become!

Although he is still a long way from truly "refining the spleen soil", he has successfully taken the first step and steadily stepped into this threshold!

As the spleen began to undergo initial transformation, a strange suction force was generated from Yan Sen's body.

The feng shui arrangement of water and fire in the cave was temporarily altered.

Yan Que felt as if a heavy object had been placed on top of him out of thin air, causing his body to sink so much that he almost fell to the ground. He quickly circulated his Qi to resist and managed to steady himself.

He stared in horror at his son.

He's only just begun refining the spleen earth, yet he can unconsciously manipulate the gravity of a region! If he were to master this, what would become of him?

Yan Sen slowly opened his eyes.

The bluish-gold light in his eyes slowly faded, returning to its normal black and white.

He felt better than ever before.

His body was filled with power, a heavy, steady power, a power that felt intimately connected to the earth. He felt that as long as his feet were firmly planted on the ground, he would not fall or tire.

He looked down at his skin; the grayish-white, rough signs of "petrification" had completely disappeared, replaced by a healthy complexion that looked much stronger than before.

Yan Sen raised his hand, still somewhat weak but with a hint of excitement, and gently pressed it onto the rocky ground beneath him.

"Buzz—"

The entire cave seemed to tremble slightly.

Yan Sen could clearly feel that the "Earth Essence" that made up the rocks beneath his palm was responding to him!

He even had a feeling that, if he wanted, he could turn that rock into sand, or make it harder than steel!

This is the power of "refining filth"!

Now he can act as the core of the formation himself!

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Yan Que, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then burst into a hearty laugh of satisfaction.

"Good! Good! Good! My son! You have not disappointed your father!"

He laughed until tears almost streamed down his face. The Yan family's two-hundred-year-long hope had finally seen a glimmer of hope in this generation!

Although Yan Sen was still very weak and his whole body ached as if he had been run over by a truck, he couldn't help but smile back when he saw his father's heartfelt smile.

He felt that all the suffering he had endured was worth it.

While the father and son were immersed in the joy of their success, neither of them noticed that inside the quiet room of the Celestial Master's Mansion on the highest peak of Longhu Mountain.

A tall, white-haired, and venerable old Taoist priest was meditating with his eyes closed.

He suddenly paused, and slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to see through everything in the world.

His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of palaces and swirling clouds, precisely "looking" towards the hidden cave in the back mountain.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Heh, what an interesting little mouse, daring to steal food on my Dragon Tiger Mountain..."

The old man's smile deepened.

"Is this strange method something the Yan family brat is up to?"
